The Mexican drug cartels are not only using “gunwalker” guns to shoot at helicopters but they’re also building their own tanks.
The Daily Mail reported:
The Daily Mail reported:
Huge and imposing, these heavily-armoured converted trucks look like the warrior trucks out of action film Mad Max.
But the vehicles, cloaked in inch-thick steel plates, are actually the DIY project of Mexican drug cartels.
Gangs have transformed the pick-up trucks as part of their arsenal of weapons to battle with rivals for supremacy in the drug trade.
There are believed to be at least 100 in existence, and one video by Porvenir TV shows a warehouse housing other trucks waiting to be renovated by the cartels.
The monster trucks are capable of resisting explosives because metal plates have been welded onto them.
Other seized tanks were fitted with a revolving gun turret which can fire bullets in any direction.

Well, I was for prohibition until I wasn’t. I thought prohibiting alcohol would make America a better place and spent millions of my own money to get the prohibition amendment. Now, 11 years after prohibition, I see that things only got worse with speakeasys, bathtub gin, mobs making big bucks running drugs OOPS, I mean alcohol. So, what I think is this whole mess would dissappear (the gangland wars, the wealthy drug-lords, the adulterated drugs) if we just legalized narcotics. I think we should sell, cocaine, heroin, meth, weed, etc. in the liquor stores across the nation. Tax the hell out of it and stand down the drug cartels. Nothing else makes sense.

Can’t wait until these “natural Republican voters” get citizenship in the United States. Won’t the diversity make us so strong? We’ll probably get those flying cars and jet packs!

impressive to the uninitiated, and to the under armed, but underpowered, overweight death traps otherwise, even without access to mil-spec anti-tank technology and weapons.

Why are we in Libya? We should be in Mexico instead. Mass killings and beheadings, drug cartels running wild, Hezbollah moving in while helping fund the terror not far from our own borders. Oh wait, the loser in the white house and his so-called woman puppet in homeland said the borders are more safe and better protected than ever, so it must be true if these extremely trustworthy people said it. Gag!
workingclass artist commented:
What possible motive could the Obama Misadministration have for “walking” American guns into Mexico? The answer is obvious — to attack the Second Amendment by getting people killed with them:
” Whistleblower ATF agents have made it clear as to the motive for the illegal scheme that has created an ‘international incident’ between the U.S. Government and the Government of Mexico. The agents themselves are adamant that their supervisors planned the scheme in order to pad statistics that would show U.S. guns are fueling the drug cartels, that the U.S. has a major problem with lax gun laws, and then provide an impetus for the Obama Administration and other gun control advocates to hype up anti-gun hysteria — all in support of another round of restrictive gun laws.”
